From IMDB: A detective investigating the death of a heroin-addicted prostitute uncovers evidence pointing to the existence of a murderous devil cult.
This MPEG2 was ripped from Mill Creek's Gore and More 10 Movie box set, this version is sort of widescreen (letterboxed) but it was apparently cropped on both sides to make it a more matted widescreen (why?) I just wanted to let you know that I didn't do this, it was probably whoever was in charge of releasing this film on home media originally. The AVI provided has the black spaced cropped off and it is deinterlaced.

Film is ominous & dark. Obvious from the time they showed the “upside down” cross which incidentally is not in itself Satanic or blasphemous.
...
Karen.Black as Elizabeth Lucy is compelling as the streetwise prostitute who has a heart . I kept wondering though why her? Though. Worth an hour and a half (+) to watch

Very dark.
Has an oppressive feeling- like you're suffocating. Another great film from the '70's.

The Pyx is an overlooked, but nevertheless quite interesting thriller with horror elements filmed in 1970s Montreal. The main actors'performances are great
...
and the supporting roles are well cast too. Director Harvey Hart made the decision to build his movie on mood (bleak and desperate) and on character development; the result is excellent. Highly recommended.

After reading the great reviews I downloaded it. But to my disappointment this movie is boring to the core. The only thing you can find amusing is looking
...
at the people, cars and other things of 1970s.

Yes, there are some flaws in the film, and the print is horrible (and the cropping is a crime), but I enjoy this film a great deal. It's a fine movie,
...
and Karen Black is a national treasure.
You kind of know what happened from the moment you see the first scene (or hear the alternate title, "The Hooker Cult Murders"), but I think people would be happy with the mood of this. It's the 70s, and the Exorcist and other early 70s horror films are just coming out. Watch and enjoy.
